Topcashback.co.uk for me! Can't go wrong, received almost £400 off them last year - great for bike stuff, insurance etc etc!

I've used Quidco for a few years. Seems reliable and pays out OK. The few missing transactions I've queried have been resolved OK. I now use a separate browser for transactions through Quidco - just to make sure they track correctly.

Quidco for me, loads earned, not had problem, just looking at house insurance now, can get 65-70 quid for that

Just had a look at Quidco, so, if I buy stuff from CRC but through them, it is an extra 4% "cashback" or 2% at Wiggle or 5% at Evans. Basically the same deal on all of their stores?
WHY WASN'T I TOLD!!!

Crazy, isn't it. A couple of big purchases and you rack up serious money.

Note that for some sites (not all by a long way, but there are definite cases) it can be more expensive to buy things through a cashback site than if you go direct - clearly you're not 'saving' with £4 cashback if the item's £5 more expensive in the first place...

Forgive me, but that sounds a bit like a tax on the stupid - a bit like the bookies - they must be making money somehow ? How does this work ??

I normally fill my basket then close the tab. Reopen via quidco and for almost all sites the basket's still filled

With topcashback they pass on their referrall fee to you and fund the site (and presumably make a profit) through advertising on the site.

I got £120 just ordering Sky TV through them.

Another Quidco user here, £270 odd in just over a year. They paid out fine, no catches, money for nothing... well a little time to click back through them.
